I know the carrier bearings are a easy one to access, but is there any good solution to checking vcu on "the fly" It's only €90 and I'm getting a set of alloys(5) Rear gearbox mount I think Front window reg repair kit Rear boot blind and the props with bolts and all accessories So it's...

Better news was that I got a identical alloys with brand new tyre on it as a spare for €40 Customer left it in 8 months ago and never came back for it he just wanted shot of it of garage floor .. Happy days Yes the ird showed is a 4-5hr round-trip to collect.so won't be getting it this weekend...

Ok things as the come clearer. Got freelander up on lift and check the front ird Union and I have 4.5mm of play turning (marked and measured) Oil is old but un contaminated Rear diff seems to be a little damp behind the Union but not sure if that's just the road conditions at the moment No...

Won't be emptying it completely over weekend but will let a drop out, I still need it mobile for the moment, has to be tested as soon as I get the windows in(needs three, have them in boot) and then is ready for test. Bloody parts guy ordered wrong 1st gear switch have to wait another week for that

Check the pinion out of ird this evening for excessive play and was really none horizontal or other wise felt free for a 1/5 turn or so (car was on ground)

Ye I'm gonna get under this weekend and have a look. Got the new expansion tank and cap fitted this evening.alot of gunge in cooling, but oil and cap is clean.maybe the engine was changed before that's why it has older style engine. Gomna have to give a good flush before I fill with proper coolant

https://www.donedeal.ie/carparts-for-sale/landrover-freelander-parts/20598443 Don't think I could go wrong with that. Agreed a price of €90 (£81) for whole lot including a spare set of alloys

I can see where u get ur user name from... ;) Ye I "hope" to put it right, if they had no issues we wouldn't be having this conversation and I wouldn't of got it for the small money. It's not an essential vehicle in house hold, iv a 16 plate vitara and 13 plate mini cooper for that. It's nice...

No the most ill be towing is a bike rack on back, or small trailer local... When I do finally put toe bar on

Perfect I have to get under it at the weekend anyway and I'll check. Have a bit of resonance out back coming off revs have to investigate

Ok might have done something wrong there:rolleyes:

Perfect will source some new one then. Question .. The ird has a cooling system of it own? If so mine has been disconnected

My freelander is a 2005

Will have a look at shocks over weekend see if any leaking, has to be tested soon so I will know then, or maybe not they will only show an imbalance not if there gone

Ye it was, few things to he done all windows don't work, first gear switch is shot and need overflow tank replaced. Suspected hg failure but a bottle of steel seal sorted that (I know I'm gonna get a dose of abuse now) Other that it drives perfect. As I said a bit wallowy but I suspect that it...

There's no prop in the freelander was going to put back in after a check of the ird and rear transfer, no point having a 4x4 if its not 4x4, plus it drives a bit crap, very wallowy, a bit giddy

Ah right I wasn't too sure when the f2 started thanks for reply

Bought it for €200 last week (£175)

Is a 2007 diesel freelander Propshaft the same as a k series 1.8 petrol? And would anyone know the size and diameter bolts I would need to put it back on(bolts from it are missing)
